All the guards have wither longswords or spears, armor and a shield, some might have the shield in their back, especially if they're using thier other hand for a torch.
The combat in the alley consists of Sam, Akame and the guard with the forregere. He just had his sword turn nonmagically into a greatsword. In fact it was always such, but it folds into a more compact form for transport, rather as an umbrella does - not very useful in its foreshortened configuration, but hard to notice when stored in a sheath on the hip among all the commotion.
That's bad for him since now he's got to decide between seeing and swinging it.
Sam hits the guard with a bolt of light, which really seems like it might gwt someone's attention, but were ignoring thst for now.
The guard turns, surprised to find the disguised Sam standing behind him, his apparent assailant. "A trap! Die foul beast!"
<DM spends teninutes deciding / looking if dim light from guiding bolt will help him see if the torch goes out, decides it doesn't>
The guard tosses his torch in a high arc over Sam's head and takes a big swing with his greatsword, knowing another enemy is at his back. 25 for 19 slashing damage. He then tries to force his way out of the alley, back onto the main street and in sight of the embassy.
Grapple attempt 1 25
Grapple attempt 2 23
If successful, he moves Sam out of the Alley and they are lit by streetlights.

(Sam should get an AOO as the guard moves past him I think. With advantage due to guiding bolt.
Akame casts another Subtle Spell command on him - WIS save DC 17 or move back to Akame as close as possible, triggering another AOO from Sam)
Annoyed that the guard chose to retreat - actually to go for backup no doubt - rather than fight, Akame decided against trying to paralyze him and instead ordered him "Approach!" Although the guard had just shrugged off the same spell a few seconds ago, Akame chalked that up to a fluke.
Assuming that Chadderlay is in agreement and takes the redbadge from Nirresh, Angus will suggest, "Let's go up the stairs quickly and get to the guard captain's quarters. He may be out directing the search, giving us time to get the evidence we need."

The guard is literally grappling him right now.
<How is flanking optional but AOO 'mandatory' in 5e? seems to me that should be flipped.>
Samogri is up, but grappled and prone (second grapple attack to shove prone as both were successful.) Currently on the street, lit by street lamps.
......meanwhile, inside the Thayan Embassy:
Assuming they take the nearest stairs, Angus, Chadderlay and Tetrevess find they are in another hallway upstairs.
The door to the east leads to the suite of rooms now occupied by the Red Wizards, formerly the infirmary. To the west, the Ambassador's suite (not the airport one), followed by a gall to the chapel belltower, and and finally, the old small chapel, now residence of the Knight Commander. Directly before you, if you're facing west, you'll see rhe door to the chapel gallery, where you know the Thayan Knights have set up their barracks.
Chadderlay would be aware that the central courtyard has doors in the second floor, just above those on the first, magically disguised as ordinary sections of wall.
Studying the map, Angus is not sure where the guard captain's quarters are, so he will ask Chadderlay to lead the way there. If the wizard does not know either, Angus will suggest they investigate room 6, "Abbot's Study".
"I know the way," Chadderlay will lead the group safely to the Knight Commander's quarters, "and I have a red badge now," as they pass by certain sections in the hallway, "these are secret doors that mirror those on the first floor." Chadderlay will point them out to the others.

"A rightful place awaits you in the Realms Above, in the Land of the Great Light. Come in peace, and live beneath the sun again, where trees and flowers grow."
— The message of Eilistraee to all decent drow.
"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
The dark timbre of amusing voice causes the guard to doubt his resolve in the face of eldritch evil, in utter defiwanc eif the circumstances whereby the guard has the disguised lizard pinned to the ground. But he manages to steel his resolve, falling back on his training, his movements become automatic. The sizzle of the torch extinguished by the melting snow on the ground around it is suddenly overshadowed by the by the sound of a greatsword's bkade slicing the chill air.
The guard releases Sam, who remains prone and attacks
The Knight commander's room is above the barracks of the other Thayan Knights. The former Abbotts study is spacious and richky appointed. A wardrobe and a desk, several chairs and a bed as well as a standing full-length mirror adorn the room.
The spiral staircase is open to the knights' barracks below and you easily hear the commander there, yelling orders ro the knights as they prepare themselves for battle with the forces thst might be trying to break into the embassy, even now. It sounds as if most are ready for action, while some are still equipping themselves, much the their commander's chagrin. They speak in Thayan, the commander listing names to patrol the inside of the building, and another list of names to patrol without, finally some to remain in reserve here in the barracks (formerly the chapel of the monastery). In all, there are eight knights, plus the commander.

Would amkme get Aoo on the guard
Re aoo:
Not if he made a ranged attack and didn't close the distance on the prior round.
Akame is up
(Tess, you're with Angus and Chadderlay, no combat at the moment)
(Sam should get an AOO as the guard moves past him I think. With advantage due to guiding bolt.

My mistake, I misread your post as saying he moved past Sam.

Sam will again say “like I said your life is forfeit” and will cast fear on him 13 Wis
